Just curious as to how you guys use your steam deck, docked or not. Do you have a gaming pc or consoles and only use it when you’re out?
I personally just use it inside the house, and sometimes at work. I’m jealous of people that are able to take it out and play in the park or somewhere like that, my OCD scares me into doing so, I always think that I might drop it or it might rain. Funny cos all I have are handhelds (switch, 2dsxl and steam deck) and I rarely go out with them.
I also have it plugged in almost all the time whenever I decide to play, is that bad for the battery or do you guys do it too since when I play it usually just lasts less than 2 hours and can’t be bothered to get up and charge.
Sorry I’m bored at work and I read the rules on the side and I don’t think this “let’s start a conversation” post is not allowed. Thanks!
I have a really nice gaming PC, but sometimes you just need to be cozy with a handheld. Great for gaming under a fluffy blanket or just taking advantage of downtime during the day. I’ve been playing a lot of PS2 games emulated as well as some older games I missed or want to revisit. And baldurs gate 3 of course :)
I think it works well as a complement to a real gaming PC but if you’re budget limited then it can definitely provide a super satisfying experience as your only/primary gaming device.
If you really want nicer graphics though (esp through a larger display like a tv) I might recommend something different. It handles well enough for it’s small/low-res screen but definitely doesn’t have much spare juice in the tank to drive more pixels vs a PS5 or decent PC can do
